Addressing pain with acupuncture and sliding cupping

Christina was phenomenal finding my pain points and addressing them with the acupuncture and sliding cupping. The cupping found the sources of pain which I did not recognize.

Highly Recommended

Whole Family Health is wonderful. I have gone to them for several years for massage and acupuncture, and everyone there is caring, friendly, and professional. They have been especially thoughtful around and concerns re: Covid, and they put both your mind and body at ease. Highly recommended.

Incredible Healthcare

Alda and all the staff at Whole Family Health offer incredible healthcare with gentleness and compassion. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Appointments with Kassidy and Cathie

I’ve seen both Kassidy for acupuncture and Cathie for massage and both are top-rate providers.

Kassidy is very knowledgeable, kind and friendly, and knows all the tricks to help you feel your best. She helped tremendously throughout my third trimester of pregnancy and has done some treatments to address motherhood aches and pains as well as helping to regulate my menstrual cycle upon its return postpartum. I would recommend her to a friend without hesitation!

Cathie’s soft spoken, gentle manner combined with her effective technique and skill are one of the most reliable treatments I’ve found for the every day aches and pains of both pregnancy and motherhood. You don’t often come across such a talented massage therapist, but I definitely have with Cathie and won’t be going anywhere else any time soon!

PMDD Treatment

Amazing acupuncturists! They specialize in hormones and actually knew what PMDD was. It has helped enormously with my symptoms after only 2 months.

Good Treatment

Good treatment at Whole Family Heath.

Helped with chronic and severe back/sciatica pain

I don’t know what I do now without Christina. She has helped me (and continues to do so) so much with my chronic and severe back/ sciatica pain. I’m now able to get some much-needed sleep and take less pain meds. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for acupuncture treatments. She really knows her stuff! In addition the clinic atmosphere is welcoming and immaculate. All staff I’ve had interactions with are professional, respectful, plus genuinely caring and kind.

Acupuncture on-site at Alberta Reproductive Center (ARC)

Dr. Alda is the sweetest and most awesome acupuncturist! She is so kind and welcoming and takes great care of you. I am so glad she was a part of my transfer day, having acupuncture on-site before and after is something all fertility clinics should offer! I am so honoured that she was able to be here on our special day.

- Lizel L.G.

Welcoming and caring

Whole family is so welcoming. They really care about their clients. Easy to access to if you have a mobility challenge, or prefer main level access for services.
I had the pleasure of working with Dr.Christina; she was fantastic. Knowledgeable, approachable, kind and gentle.
She is incredibly kind to her patients; and her is really sweet. And she gave wonderful instructions for the home treatment that I am doing.
Also, emailed a receipt and appointment reminders. So helpful for someone like me.
I look forward to my next appointment with her.
After a single treatment I am feeling better. I can’t wait to experience how I feel after another appointment.

- R. H.

Excellent Result After An Hour Massage

Cathie is amazing! I can’t believe how good I feel after a 1 hour massage. She assessed and treated my trouble spots and I felt the results and increased range of motion right after treatment. I highly recommend her!

- Majid S

Above and Beyond

Christine is amazing. She has gone above and beyond to assist me in my areas of concern.

- Shanti C

Excellent and Knowledgeable Acupuncturist

Besides being so kind and respectful, Christine is an excellent and very knowledgeable acupuncturist. Unfortunately, I had to pause in my regular treatments which had been helping with my serious pain. But I’m now able to resume treatments and am very much looking forward to it.

- Norma F

Multiple Family Members Visiting Here

I highly recommend this place. They have done wonders for my 10yr old and now have multiple family members visiting here for all different issues and looking to acupuncture for help. God bless

Science-based Approach to Acupuncture

All of the folks at Whole Family Health are excellent. Christina has been my main provider, and I am always so appreciative of her knowledge, empathy, and science-based approach to acupuncture.

Thank you Kassidy!

I saw Kassidy for induction acupuncture; we live out of town and the clinic was able to get me in last minute! Kassidy was so kind and knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Her treatment was thorough, she offered great advice, homework for me and a treatment plan going forward. Would absolutely come back to see her if we lived closer!! Thank you Kassidy!

- Sarah E

Concerns are Always Addressed

Holistic Care

I would like to thank you all for the nice treatment I get each time. Specific thanks to Kassidy for giving us a holistic care and making us feel better after each session. 💕from nozha and mourad

Tira was kind, helpful and reassuring!

Very warm, welcoming, and peaceful environment. Visited from out of town so this sadly is not my usual acupuncture clinic but visited multiple times over the course of a few days and left pleased each time. Tira was so kind, helpful, and reassuring… and I felt that she really considered what I needed both based on my reasons for attending and my emotional/physical state at the time. She took the time to follow up with me and provide me with information along my journey that may be helpful and even knowing I may not be a permanent client due to not living in Edmonton she treated me in a way that would certainly earn my loyalty if I did.

- Kimberly M

Making a Difficult Time Easier

Kassidy is so kind and is making a difficult time that much easier. Thank you.

Pays Attention to Our Needs

I should have started seeing Kassidy a long time ago! All my health issues, big or small are being fixed. Everyone at the clinic pays attention to our needs, they are professional, they are kind, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming.
I recommend 100%

- Elise M

Helped Find Balance and Calm

Very nice atmosphere, very calming and reassuring, it always makes me feel at peace.
Christina is very helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Taking acupuncture has actually helped me a lot when I needed to find some balance and calm, and I tend to fall asleep a lot of times during my sessions because of its calmness and soothing music in the rooms.

- Fiorella M

Welcoming Space

This clinic is in one of the cutest spots in town. I was welcomed by the sweet front desk staff who brought me right away to the room. Catherine was so great and inviting. She provided me with a lot of knowledge to boost my fertility and really cares about my health.

Prenatal care

Hi Catherine,

It was great 

I can’t thank you enough for coming along for the ride and for all your support.

And the acupressure point on the bottom of the foot is brilliant.

When we got to the hospital I was 8cm dilated and no one could believe it because of my zen vibe, arrived to assessment at 9:15am and he was born at 10:18am

Thank you thank you thank you 

- K.K.

Fast Recovery

Changed my life

Wonderful clinic. Catherine is incredible. She supports her patients by listening to ALL their concerns. She has changed my life. I was referred to her and I am grateful for all the healing that has happened at Whole Family Health. Acupuncture + herbs was the combination I needed. We went through a few different iterations with the formula that would work for me. Then we found the one that did! Be patient with the process, document your healing journey and give this a chance if you want to compliment western medicine. If you’re dealing with psoraisis, eczema, sleep or anxiety issues, book you appointment with Catherine and let the healing begin!

- Sumana F

Thank you for everything

I have so many good things to say about Christina, the services provided and my experience, that I honestly cannot think of how to start this review.

I came to the practise looking for fertility help in 2021 after multiple miscarriages.

Christina immediately made me feel safe, comfortable and I trusted her right away.

Fast forward today, I feel with every fiber of my being, that it is largely due to her that I am mere weeks away from having my rainbow baby boy.

It’s not just the services they provide but it’s how they make you feel that really sets this place apart from other practitioners.

I cannot recommend whole family enough.
Thank you for everything

- Morgan T

Life saver!

Whole Family Health is a life saver! They truly take care of their patients. I see Christina for Acupuncture and she has helped me with everything from balancing hormones, relaxation techniques and pain management. I also go to the clinic for massages and have had an amazing experience with all their massage therapists.

- Christine R

Kind and knowledgeable

- Danielle S

Best acupuncturist I have ever had!

I cannot recommend Dr. Alda Ngo enough. She was my doctor for 10 years in Vancouver. She has helped me with everything from back pain, to period pain to pregnancy and childbirth. I am very picky with who I let give me acupuncture and Dr. Alda Ngo is by far the best Acupuncturist I have ever had! Her practice is a perfect balance of Chinese medicine knowledge, western medical knowledge, and mindfulness. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss her! Edmonton, my loss is definitely your gain!

- Emilie S

Help during my difficult journey

I was lucky to see Christina when I was struggling to get pregnant. Christina helped me and with help of acupuncture, I got pregnant in 11 weeks while getting treatment. Thank you Christina ❤️❤️.I am blessed with beautiful baby boy now with your help during my difficult journey

- Amanjit B

Invaluable program

I participated in an 8 week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction online program facilitated by Dr. Alda Ngo. It was the most amazing program I could take to help with my mindset and reduce stress. Over time with daily practice I noticed a shift in how I reacted to stressful events and being at peace with my health diagnoses. My sleep got better whereas before I would be up for 3-4 hours a night anxious over my health to the point that my multiple health diagnoses were affecting my daily life. Dr. Ngo is one of the most compassionate, kind and knowledgeable healthcare provider I have come across and trust me over the past 2.5 years I have seen more specialists than I can count.

THANK YOU for providing and facilitating an invaluable program!

- Vanna L

Thank you

Catherine is very friendly, helpful, kind, and caring. Thank you for your help.

Improvement with my overall health

I reached out to Catherine for fertility acupuncture. Catherine has such a soothing voice and peaceful energy to her. Within a few treatments I started to notice an improvement with my overall health. Better sleeps, regular bowel movements, improved circulation, and most of all my menstruation cycles basically became symptom free. I hadn’t experienced this before and felt it was important to share my experience with acupuncture because there isn’t a lot of conversation around that. For anyone looking to improve their overall health I highly recommend acupuncture.

Update: I got pregnant within 1 month of “trying”. I didn’t expect that to happen to quickly, but I highly recommend acupuncture for anyone trying to conceive!

- Sasha M

Beyond Thankful

If you are looking for the best acupuncturist for fertility, look no further. Christina is the person you should be going to and you will absolutely love her passion, care, and work integrity. I have been struggling with recurring polyps and for almost three years, I went through 2 surgeries to get them removed, but unfortunately, it ended in countless disappointments with negative pregnancy tests. Just when I was devastated that the doctors told me my polyps returned and that I needed another surgery + IVF given my polyp’s rate of growth, Christina gave me hope. Christina is realistic, empathetic, and a gentle guidance that’s there to nudge you to go a little further when you are feeling defeated. 2 months into my acupuncture session with her, I found out that we’re expecting a baby. I am beyond thankful for Christina’s support and her knowledge in the fertility field. She is truly an intelligent guide who cares about the well-being of her patients. This is rare to find in an individual and you’ll be lucky to have her on your fertility journey.

Identical twin girls

Alda, I am writing to let you know that last week, I gave birth to identical twin girls. Thank you so much for caring for me. I learned so much from you and am certain that the changes that I made to align with your advice helped me reach this point. It has been a long and challenging journey and my husband and I are so thrilled to now be parents to these lovely girls.

- A

Thank you, from a now rested mom!

I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Kelsey! She’s a magic worker on both of my kids. They were so cranky before acupuncture and within hours we saw a difference in both of them. By the time we made the drive home, they were both happy, had bowel movements and slept a 12-hour night!
Thank you so much Kelsey for having a sweet and fun approach and being so great with the kids. They both adore you!
Thank you once again, from a now rested mom 🙂

Taking Care of Clients

I love this place. They take care of their clients and patients very carefully.
I have had massage from about 5 different places but never satisfied but at Whole Family I always have very pleasant time. Natasha is great massage therapist.
I needed prenatal massage she knew what pressure areas were tensed without me telling her. My body feels very relaxed. They are good with the timing.
Alda and Christina are great acupuncturist.
I had issues with fertility but with few fertility acupuncture treatments I was able to conceive and I am due any day now. I will highly recommend this place. I love this place I will coming again again for any treatments

In fact, she is still benefitting from your support, and so am I! I am now 6 1/2 half months old and am doing great! I sit by myself, I roll over, I eat solids and I giggle and babble a lot! I keep my mom happy and busy! I hope to see you again soon!

Wonderful Experience

Thank you so much, Alda. We don’t even know where the last three years have gone. I came in not knowing what to expect and I can’t tell you what a wonderful experience we have had with you.

Helped Calm the Storm

Dear Alda,
Thank you again for your support. You are one of a kind and will be greatly missed here in Vancouver. You do remarkable work and your compassion, patience and warm heart are a blessing during a very emotional and stressful time. You practice what you preach and are an example of how taking time for you with self-care (I loved your class!) and also being so brave to share your fertility journey publicly has certainly helped to calm our incredible storm. I am so lucky to have met you. Thank you for helping to give me the confidence to proceed! (The confidence to share my story one day will come too…ha ha). – K.

We Appreciate You

Hello Alda,

I appreciate all that you did for my husband and myself. It was such a pleasure being in your care for the past year and a bit. Your patients in Edmonton are lucky to have you! – L.

A Very Big Thank You

Alda, I wanted to extend a very big thank you for all the incredible care I have been so lucky to receive from you over the years; this past year in particular. I feel immensely grateful that our paths happened to cross 10 years ago and that I had the privilege of learning and growing through the work you do. Much, much love, hugs, kisses, and ‘suerte!’ as my Mexican hubby says! – C.

A Bright Star

Dear Alda,

You have taught me a lot about family– and community. And what is and is not “a thing” in Chinese medicine. You are a bright star in my healing firmament. My shoulder is 99% fixed and I will book in to see you before I leave.  – W.

So again, thank you! Looking forward to working with you again. – L. S., C. R., + N. S. R.

Healing Hands

Christina, thanks for your support during the difficult times when I needed someone to understand my feelings and give me meaningful direction. You are an angel with healing hands.

Menstrual Cycle Support

My cycle failed to return back to normal after being off the birth control pill for over 2 years. All of my test results came back as normal so I decided to try acupuncture.  I was experiencing very irregular cycles (anywhere from 25-50 days) and painful periods with spotting all throughout the cycle, something I never had prior to going on the pill.  After a few months of acupuncture, my cycle had become regular and my cramps nearly disappeared.  It has been such a great experience, I would highly recommend it! – J. K.

Preconception and Pregnancy Support

My daughter and son are both rainbow babies after loss and I thank you, Christina, for all of your help with preconception and prenatal acupuncture. I’m absolutely convinced it was a big part of calming my nervous system so we could continue these pregnancies.

I always looked forward to my weekly acupuncture sessions in your clinic and also your empathy, care, and compassion was so helpful for dealing with both my mind and body health during these rainbow pregnancies. – C. D.

Feeling Relieved

I’ve had a headache for 5 days and have been dealing with tight traps for about 6 months non-stop! 1 visit to Christina Pistotnik and I feel one million percent better! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! – N.W.

Highly Recommended

I have been a patient of a few different acupuncturists and I must say that Christina is THE best. She is extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, accommodating, and caring. I highly recommend her! – L. D.

Making Me a Priority

Thank you so much, Christina, for always making me a priority and being so supportive and helpful. I can’t tell you how appreciative I am! – E.Y.

Our Family is Complete

Christina, thank you for the many years of treatments for our bodies and our hearts. We now have the family we could only dream of and you are a very important part of that! A million thank-yous! – D.F+S.F

Where would I be without Christina and Whole Family Health? 

Christina is a wonderful acupuncturist and all-around human being. She is friendly, caring, an amazing listener and great at her job. I am so glad I found her. – P. L.

Very Thankful

I am so fortunate to have found Christina to be my acupuncturist. Christina has effectively aided me with a number of issues. I find her to be very professional, knowledgeable, dependable, punctual and passionate. What strikes me most about her and her craft is her openness and her attentiveness. I feel I need to add that she is extremely gentle with the tools of her trade for those that may be nervous about needles. – D.K.

Support for Conception of 2nd Child

Christina, thank you for always being a source of support – emotionally and physically. It meant so much to me to be able to reach out to you during this journey and know you would always listen. I have been lucky to meet so many great women through the adventure that was bringing my 2^nd daughter into this world. Thank you for being a part of it! – R. K.

Thanks for Helping Open Doors…

Christina, it’s hard to believe but wonderful to be on this end of the journey with you. Thank you for being on this path with me from the beginning – you don’t know how much your support has meant. It has been such a lesson for me believing in a dream even when there were no outward signs. Thanks for being a source of positivity, hope, and humour (plus a shoulder to occasionally cry on).  I hope you remember me throughout your career as a reminder to help someone hold hope for having a child.  Much love and gratitude -N.L.

Labour Induction Treatment Did The Trick!

Yesterday’s appointment sure did the trick. We were making our way home and decided to come to the grey nuns as my contractions were coming on strong and were 3 min apart. We were admitted at 4:30 and he was born at 5:10 pm! It was crazy fast considering I left the appointment at 3:30.  Thank you for all of your help Catherine!

Woke up with no pain!

I just wanted to let you know that I feel sooo much better after our session yesterday. I woke up this morning with no pain 🙂 thank you so much!!! I’m so glad I decided to come see you Catherine!

Male Factor Infertility

I think when us guys hear the words “fertility issue,” we tend to look for ways to fix what’s broken. My wife and I have been through the grinder and every test conceivable (<-yeah it’s a pun) for Western medicine. There was no easy fix for what was quickly starting to look like an “infertile couple.” Our last option was surrogacy but we still needed healthy eggs from my wife and good sperm from me to proceed. We asked around about what we could do to increase our chances of having success with creating healthy embryos.

Acupuncture was mentioned a few times so we gave it a whirl. It really was the best advice anyone gave us. We went for a few months of treatment and, in tandem with a fertility clinic, created several healthy embryos as a result. We now have a little girl that has just turned one. We can’t thank Alda and the rest of the team enough for helping us. They can truly make a difference.

Lastly, I encourage all couples to BOTH go for acupuncture.  So often I see women at the fertility clinic on their own. I think it’s important for both partners to be there and go through the experience together.

Great support!

I’m not sure if you know about our miracle that God gave us but I’m 15 weeks pregnant. I saw Christina weekly for acupuncture during my 1st trimester. Things have been very good although I was in the emerg on Thursday with bleeding and cramping…you can imagine I was terrified. Baby is fine and it turns out that there is a subchorionic hematoma between the placenta and cervix with the placenta slightly pulling away. So not ideal obviously…it’s really weird because an ultrasound 3 days prior showed nothing. I’ve been put on bed rest and advised to follow up with my OB. It’s nerve-wracking but we’re hopeful and praying for this little miracle to thrive! I had meant to email you sooner …just thought I’d touch base and also let you know how great it’s been to have the acupuncture support from Christina at your clinic.
Sincerely, SC

“I feel like she is a friend who understands my health issues.”

I love my acupuncture appointment time with Kelsey! I feel like she is a friend and understands my health issues and does her best to help me with it through treatment and discussion. She takes time to listen and fully give me her time! Ashley at the front desk is fabulous! She is always so cheerful, welcoming and will accommodate appointment changes and appointments so easily! Love your clinic and always recommend it to others when they are looking for health solutions! Keep up the excellent work!

Christina is THE best

“Each baby was carried a little differently…”

“I cannot thank you enough for helping with my morning/all day sickness. We have so much to be grateful for. As our family is completed, I have taken the time to reflect on the journey of pregnancy in my body. Each baby was carried a little differently. What a gift you have! Once again, thank you!

Words can not fully express

I am so grateful for all your help and support over the last year and a bit, you definitely made a huge difference in how I viewed the infertility issues we experienced. Your positivity surrounding it was unwavering, and for that I will never be able to thank you enough. So for now, we will build our family thru the adoption process and if we are meant to have more then it will happen and if not, our family will be complete with 3. Words can not fully express the difference you have made in my life and for that I thank you.
